Work Logs
Work logs are daily records of time spent by an employee on a task. They are the foundation of invoicing — invoices are computed from the work logs assigned to them.
Logging Work
To log work, go to the Work Logs page (the home page after signing in) and click New work log.
Fill in:
- Employee — who did the work
- Task — what they worked on
- Date — the date the work was done
- Hours (optional) — how many hours were spent. If left blank, 8 hours is assumed when computing hourly invoice amounts
- Notes (optional) — any free-text notes about the work
Each employee can have at most one work log per task per day. Trying to create a duplicate will show a validation error.
Filtering Work Logs
The work logs index shows logs filtered by:
- Employee — defaults to all employees (admins) or just yourself (members)
- Start date — defaults to the start of the current week
- End date — defaults to today
Use the filter bar at the top of the page to change the date range or switch employees.
Editing and Deleting
Admins can edit or delete any work log. Members can only edit or delete their own logs.
Click the work log row to open it, then use the edit or delete actions.
Invoice Assignment
Work logs can be assigned to an invoice in bulk when billing a client. Once assigned, a work log's date falls within the invoice's billing period and it contributes to the invoice's computed amount. See Invoices for details.
A work log that is already assigned to an invoice is shown with the invoice reference. It cannot be reassigned to a different invoice until it is removed from the current one.
